Marvel could publish DC.

Do you know the expression "jumping the shark"? I am afair this is happening when we see an abuse of radical changes.

Today the superheroes are very famous. In Spain Batman was practically unknown (but among comics fans) among the main public until the first Tim Burton's movie. And some marvel characters famous only thanks from 60's children cartoons. These are good years for the comic industry, but not for the paper-printed superheroes comics. Not only DC but also Marvel is making more money with the merchadicing.

The future of the superheroe franchises are linked with the media, cartoons and action pictures, but also the videogames, and too powerful superhumans aren't easy to be adapted, worse if we want crossovers with different power levels.

* Really I would like a Marvel vs DC tabletop role-playing compatible with D&D, altought characters have to be nerfed when they are too powerful (sorry Superman and Hulk).

Sorry for this little necromancy but I would like to ask some question.

I have read about Apple Inc could buy Disney, at least somebody has adviced this is the best time to do it. Apple Inc has got good relations with Disney, but also with AT&T, owners of Time Warner/DC Enternaiment.

Probably not. Apple can't really afford it and I don't think to many people are going to want to spend billions right now.

If they wait a bit Disney is gonna be a lot cheaper.

Probably won't be a lot of iPhone sales in the near future.

I have read some webs and some people want a new DC-Marvel crossover. And my opinion is this may be possible.

My suggestion is to create a new patchwork world, mixing the battleworld from the last Secret War event and the Telos/Blood Moon from the DC Event Convergence. And this world used as setting for a future TTRPG, at least by the fandom. This patchwork world would have got different "bubles" or kingdoms, one for be used by DC, other by Marvel, other by Hasbro (to sell toys based in the crossover event... and also an own TTRPG), and crossovers with 3PPs, for example videogames studios or manga-anime characters.

But with what is going one in comics and in movies right now, I don't think it would be the best time to colaborate.

Also, the industry is in complete hold. Diamond is a keystone of comic distribution, and from recent news they not only are closed for the quarantine, they have announced a payment plan for what they currently owe to publishers -and that sounds more like doing a bankruptcy on their own terms than a plan for a comeback-. No word on how many stores will survive or if Diamond itself will make it to the other side.

I'm hoping they do, but if that is not the case, then it is Comixology, Drive thru and Kickstarter for the foresable future.

Did they offer it to all, or did they exclude some?

I don't know.

At least you have access to one store. In my whole country there's only one store -ok, they have about five stores spread across the country, but they are a single business- with access to Diamond to begin with, and they haven't announced a thing. It's possible they won't have any access to new comics until Diamond is back.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any reactions from other publishers.
